This class has exhibited a ton of growth against tough competition, and a lot of that stems from stellar setter play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's give you the latest names to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["351465"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Johnson has been on an upward trajectory since the 2023 fall season and has taken another step forward with Nebraska Juniors.

Anderson helped engineer Omaha Skutt Catholic's latest state championship with her steady hands and precise location. She's now seeing a similar breakthrough with [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 17 Elite. Even as 17 Elite experimented with new late-season lineups, Anderson remained consistent as her team achieved the ultimate goal: an Open bid.

This year, Craven and 17 Select decided to take care of u0022bid-nessu0022 outside of the region. A runner-up finish at the Windy City Qualifier has put Craven back in the spotlight, and 17 Select followed that up with a strong showing at the Great Plains Regional Championships.

Her smooth setting has generated headlines throughout her prep career, but Nelsen brings a lot more than that to the Nebraska Elite gym. She got plenty of reps as a frontcourt opposite throughout 2024 and was even in the passing pattern for many of those rotations. Nelsen also thrived as a floor defender and was quick to react to hard-driven balls. An important senior season is on deck.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["395142"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Keep adding more setter-opposites to your list. McMains has carried this dual role for Premier 17 Red and was particularly effective during the team's stint at the GPR Bid Tournament. 17 Red's attack operates well with McMains at the helm and gets a boost of firepower when she becomes a right-side hitter. This versatility should flourish at GJNC as 17 Red prepares to battle in the 17 Freedom division.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["173537"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"This is an obvious choice.

The Wahoo prep star offered stability and confidence during all the dramatic three-set contests that 17 Black encountered.
